International Visiting Program (IVP)

Capacity Development

Strategic HR planning ensured that recruitment, training
and up-skilling kept pace with Amret’s business growth, as
well as industry and technological trends. Amret has 4,109
employees, 1,375 of whom are women, and supports their
professional development in whatever pathways they choose
to follow. This year 427 staff members were promoted to new
positions. Amret’s high-performance culture and corporate
values create an environment where employees have the
opportunity to fulfill their potential and be outstanding.

The Learning and Development (L&D) Department provided
training to 4,108 staff at all levels, including coaching for 772.
Trainees comprised 931 new recruits, 1,913 branch staff and
492 promotees.
To retain staff, to develop their knowledge and skills, and to
stay ahead of competitors, the L&D Team designed a High-
Performing Employee Program. This is to ensure staff ’s skills
and capabilities, at all levels, are aligned to Company growth
strategy, and Amret’s resilience to changes in the banking
sector. To date, L&D has engaged 820 staff members in this
new program.
All staff members have opportunities to update their skills
and knowledge specific to their current roles and develop
new skills and expertise for future work assignments. In 2016,
180 staff members at all levels participated in the Talent
Program. L&D also delivered a further 59 training courses
covering functional skills, cross-functional skills, behavioural
skills and managerial skills to 399 staff, and arranged for 12
executive managers to attend international training programs
in Thailand, Hong Kong, France, Spain and Bangladesh.

International Visitor Program

Amret hosted delegations from four MFIs and banks from
Southeast Asia, Egypt, India, and Nepal. They visited Amret
to gain an understanding of our operational risk mitigation
strategy, HR strategic planning, commercial training, and
credit and noncredit product development. We arranged a
field visit for them so they could see Amret’s branch network
and branch operations first-hand. Amret was honoured to
be selected by the National Bank of Nepal as a model MFI
for them to learn about successful practices for sustainable
MFI business growth. We also received strong recognition
from the Mekong Financial Inclusion Forum, which a few
Nepalese delegates joined.
